List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part I

[BrutThough]

It’s probably something the club would look at tbh. We’ve got Tom Green and Caldwell who struggle to get a game, and we are full of inside mids.

It would look strange on paper to let Taranto go, but you are well stocked in the midfield that if you can leverage one of them to boost a weakness, then you can still come out ahead.

Unfortunately, we don't have any players of value to involve in the trade to help you guys instantly so it would just be draft picks.

Aside from the ruck (because Marshall is off limits) what areas are you desperate for players in?

Farkin hell, I mean every club would want Taranto but he’s contracted, and how the fu** are we pulling this off with a pick around 12 - 15??????

I’m all about it don’t get me wrong but we must be trading out a decent player if we’re any chance.

This year's and next years

Only thing is he’s contracted. I know they’re starting to mean less and less these days but it does give you more control over telling him he’s a required player.

Out of interest where do you rank him in your midfield hierarchy? Personally rate him only behind Kelly at present. You definitely do have plenty of depth of those types of players though which means it’s probably not as big of a loss as it generally would be to most sides.

I just don’t see why the Giants would entertain the idea of Taranto leaving in any way while he’s contracted. 22 years old, b&f winner, former pick 2. Surely you’d just flat out say no deal.

He just might want out - personnel problems / you never know - cant blame him , being a guy from Melbourne just might want to go home.
Watching how they played against us , they need to change something - but I thought it would be the coach not there best inside mid.

He was our B&F last year in a gf team at about 21 yrs old. He was a pick 2. He’s a bull.

 

[Sippa]

Can’t see how we pull that off without trading away a billings or a Gresham for a first rounder back ..

Has tatts...

Hard running good users. Eg Brad Hill.

 

[StCicatriz]

Matthew Lloyd and Caroline Wilson are adamant that Tim Taranto is the number one target for the Saints this year

Hurry up and take my draft picks

 

[Giant Pete]

Or Gresham.

Unless Taranto demands to come home

 

[BrutThough]

We dont have many of those.

Can we interest you in half backs, okay-ish small forwards or VFL level key backs?

He had a injury problem this year and missed a the first 6 rounds , but won the F and Best last year as a 21yr old so going by that he just about there best midfielder - a inside mid that can take a contested mark and kick goals / no wonder why we want him.

If there is any truth in the Coniglio/Taranto off field tension rumours, they might be more willing to entertain it.

 

[bird_man]

Normally the price for that kind of deal is 2 firsts with a 2nd coming back.

We'd then have to get back into.the first round next year going by the rules, but with two 2nd round picks it shouldn't be too hard to trade up.

Unfortunately firsts this year might not hold the value of what they normally would, especially since ours might end up about 15 or 16 even before academy picks.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Would be genuinely amazing if we could get Taranto. I don’t see how it happens but our midfield would finally be looking like a very good unit.

Ryder/Marshall, Steele, Taranto, Jones, Clark and Gresham on the inside. Hill and Billings on the outside. Hard to see a need for Ross if we were to get Taranto.

 

[Plugger35]

Taranto would be a huge get, he's just the sort of midfielder we need.

 

[Giant Pete]

Never heard of it. They all love Cogs as far as we know.

 

[Giant Pete]

It cant get done this year with such a compromised draft and 2 years left on his contract.

 

[StCicatriz]

Gee i wish someone told our club and tarranto that

 

[Speck]

Completely hypothetical and I'd like to keep him - but would Billings be of any use to the Giants? He's the only highly talented player we have that I'd entertain losing.

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

My dream scenario

Ross and our 2021 second to Essendon for the Daniher compo pick (8 ish)

8ish and our first (12ish) for Toranto and GWS 2020 second

So essentially Ross and a 15 pick downgrade in this years compromised crapshoot for Toranto

Wont happen. But I can dream

 

[Gosaints12]

So what’s the rule with trading this years and next years after already trading 2019s?

Have to take two over 4 years

17: Clark, Coffield
18: King
19: Nil
20: Nil

Must keep a first for the super draft. Real shame. [emoji41]

What if we did something like this;

North trade;
Pick 9, Higgins and pick 25

St Kilda trade;
Pick 14 and Billings

Hi I from the Bombers board.

41 & 62 with DMAC should get us Taranto with GWS paying 90% of his salary.[emoji2957]

Look it's nice we have a whisper but a contracted Taranto will be hard to prise out.

Lets see.
